[opensuse] just a quick test
I want to see if this goes through. I'm wondering if sending via html was my problem causing my posts to previously be denied. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you need doing more tests, there is an opensuse-test mail list. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

That should be it. I just said forget it and have set my messages to plain text.

You can still send links with plain text. Most email apps recognize links. Also, if you add a link, you might want to enclose it in <>, so that the line breaks don't cause problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I was unaware of that. Then why is HTML forbidden on this list? Is it a visual thing? I was thinking that the rule was made due to security reasons. I don't mean to sound rude or anything; I'm not trying to be. I just like to know the reasoning for why such and such rule is put in place. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Two reasons I can think of, storage space and the risk of something malicious. Also, there's a big difference between posting a link and having the entire message in HTML. HTML is the actual code that does something, but a link just points to a web site and can't do anything by itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It triples the size of emails, for starters. It may have security issues - which is different than writing a link in the text. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

There is many reasons, where some of them are historic now, some are security, some are size of emails, some are that people here are used to workarounds for lack of HTML and don't ask for it. Also, some reasons are that HTML tend to be abused with colored text, misc sizes text, images that make or don't make sense, so at the end we are better off without it. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

html will definitely get your post denied. ps: line wrap is expected also. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette thanks for joining us. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Many lists block HTML. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
